My main concern was they looked like they'd be 1-dimensional as there seemed to be an extreeme lack of specialists. However, they have enough specialists to grab my interest, they're strong bodies with decent tac ploys and a cool Team Ability. From considering skipping this year's releases, I'm sold and might actually consider other releases! Just need to find somewhere they're in stock!
Scouts are a really interesting team. They're not particularly strong/special on a unit-by-unit basis, but I think they will play very well under a strategic player. Looking forward to giving both these and the Blades of Khaine a spin.
By lore, not all chapters promote marines from scouts. In some chapters scouts are elites that are promoted from marines. So scouts beating marines can be normal.
This was particularly interesting because you are the first person I've seen online that picks bolt guns over shotguns. Almost EVERY other site or channel I've checked says shotguns for everyone.
I also like the idea of more bolt guns than shotguns, but it's really more of a cinematic thing. For example in a ton of action movies, there's always that ONE guy with a shotgun in the spec ops team.
This team looks really cool with their faction ability. Kinda wanna kitbash them as GSC scouts. Seems also very thematic with the booby traps and stuff.
@@CanYouRollaCrit Right, isn't more units and tricks generally considered an advantage? I meant why are the scouts weak against a team like intercessors who only have 6 units?
Just got myself a box of scouts then a veteran Krieg Guard and Exaction squad so my bf can make Helldiver minis 😂 im sick at kitbashing so ill def make em awsome
So funny revisiting this and hearing you say "if they had an extra operative, they would be broken"... 6 months down the road they have an extra operative and "super knives"... Yeah...
I got utterly destroyed by an intercessors Killteam, got spammed by the double-shooting ability they have. I don't understand why I can't run plasma or melta weapons on my scouts to counter elites
That scout hunter is powerful, lethal 3+ seems a bit much personally. Although that's partially the salt talking. Catachans would fit more that scouts for me
@@chaoticzer0 it was jokey, fella. I'm always glad of kill team content, just wish GW wouldn't trap highly sought after 40k in the KT boxes, whereas I have both armies here for 40k I would much rather see stuff that doesn't appeal to 40k players explicitly in KT. Honestly I thought after so many seasons Tau empire should've expanded some and other random mercenary factions, GW being lazy

Ah that's great to hear! Yeah they habe tons of neat tricks

Yeah exactly! Both teams require a lot of knowledge from the user
Really appreciate the review. I'm actually more interested in them now that I've heard that they're not as bad as I first assumed they would be.
Ah great, yeah Scouts are super cool imo
Thanks for adding the bit about the BT neophytes I was wondering about how compatible they were
No worries, happy to help out fellow BT fans haha

I thought that was only Space Wolves?

Boltguns are great haha

Ah maybe not as GSC aha but yeah a very fun team!
What makes you say their biggest issues are elites? What do elite teams do that these guys can't deal with properly?
Activation count, Scouts have more bodies and tricks

Oh nice, that's great!
How would you rate them against the striking scorpions?
Actually 50/50. Depends on board and how many shotguns haha

I can (not) see the future 👀

Any plans for a guide for new Pathfinders players? Would be appreciated.
Not any time soon
Ooh... Scout Tracker's Auspex negates Kroot Rogue! That's weird...
Yeah, Space Marine Auspexes too good haha
Inter...esting ❤😂🎉
Scouts are haha

Aha he does take setup but is very powerful
Reviewing a team that sold out in seconds, salt the wound more 😂😂😢
No control over stock I'm afraid
To no one's surprise, really
Actually some FLGS have stock still like Alchemists Workshop. 60 copies I think
What would you have him do? Anyways...Thanks as always Crit for your great reviews!
